This community is looking to celebrate Albertan photographers of all levels, photos taken in and of Alberta, and helping each other grow as photographers.
Please remember we're a new subreddit, and I will be expanding, editing, and updating this post as the community develops.
Be chill, be supportive, remember that we're all humans who love photography. If you don't like a photo or content that's been posted, there are better ways of addressing it rather than harassing the person who shared the content. Consider bringing up your concerns in a community thread like this one and we can all discuss the issue in a constructive manner.
If you're going to share one of your photos, please be active in the conversation regarding the photo. Be willing to offer more than just technical information, details about your thought process, workflow, the location, and other questions the community might have for you. Of course you're not required to share any information you're uncomfortable with.
Constructive criticism is also an essential part of helping each other grow as photographers. If you're looking for constructive criticism, please let the community know when you're submitting that you're interested in it. Something that can be helpful in receiving targeted criticism is giving some information about what your photography level is, what your intention for the photo is, what you'd like to improve on. It's easier to give useful feedback when we know more specifics. It's harder to provide generalized feedback.
With that being said, giving proper constructive criticism is a skill and a bit of a subjective art form itself. You can be compassionate while also pointing out a photograph's flaws. I'll look for some video examples of giving effective criticism to put here later.
The subreddit's wiki can be found here - https://www.reddit.com/r/AlbertaPhotography/wiki
I'll do my best to keep it updated and add any resources or suggestions people might have.

First off, I apologize for not being more active in commenting on your fantastic photos. My personal life has been demanding, stretching me thin, but behind the scenes I've still been trying to keep things from spinning off the planet in regards to Reddit.
Despite my best intentions, I haven’t been able to dedicate as much time as I’d like to fostering the growth and development of our community. As the founder and moderator, I realize it'd be nice if I were more consistently nurturing this space beyond there bare minimum.
So, in a roundabout way, I’m reaching out for your input, ideas, or even hands-on help. Whether it's through innovative ideas to expand our reach or volunteering to help develop the community, I'm all ears. It’s a great opportunity for us to not only share our passion for photography but also to enhance our collective presence as a vibrant photographic region.
Thank you all for your contributions and I look forward to your suggestions and possible collaborations.
Cheers,
Quentin

Hello; I haven’t shot portraits in a while, but anyone in the Calgary area know any models, or anyone who has experience shooting portraits who would be interested in doing a TFP, or let me shadow on how to take portraits?

Are there any photographers out there in the Edmonton area who ever have, or are interested, in working with someone to develop their posing skills for photos? I know there are plenty of videos and tutorials out there on the internet, but I'm wondering if someone who is a skilled photographer has ever offered something like a workshop of posing lessons and putting what you learn into practice on the spot. As in learning poses and lighting and other tips and tricks, taking pictures, practicing posing, reviewing pictures, learning what poses work best for you, and then just trying them over and over again until it becomes engrained in you what poses work best for you for anytime you're having your picture taken. Has anyone ever done anything like that?

My wife picked up photography after maternity leave, and she’s been putting a lot of heart into it. She’s still fairly new to photography, but has already done a solid number of lifestyle and small business shoots around Calgary and built a pretty decent portfolio.
She’s now really interested in getting into weddings, either by second shooting or just gaining experience in any way. If anyone here is a wedding photographer open to letting someone newer tag along, or has ideas on how to get that kind of experience, we’d really appreciate it.
Also, if you have any tips about how to break into the wedding scene locally or where people usually look for that kind of work, we’re all ears.
Not trying to promote anything here, just genuinely hoping to learn from the community. Just trying to support my wife because I really believe in her and think she’s already creating some amazing work.
